Since my driver side webbing has most likely dried up and has broken, is there any simple method to replace the webbing without tearing the seat apart? I have heard that bungee cords could work. Very thick ones may be supportive.

I recovered my seats last year re-using the webbing on the passenger seat as it looked good. No one sat in that seat until I did this summer to remove the glove box in anticipation of a windshield replacement. I realized then that the webbing was not strong enough so I removed the seat to replace it. I tried to do it without breaking down the seat but found it impossible to stretch into position so I took the seat cushion cover off again to fit the new webbing.

No experience with bungees but maybe the short all-rubber heavy duty trucker type would work.
